    i need the highest quality possible cable for cable use---in other words something that will screw into the cable outlet jack on the wall to go to TV and computer. i don't know if this is RG6 coax. But whatever it is called, i need it.


    Money is no object and only cable produced in the following countries is acceptable:

    1) United States
    2) Germany
    3) Japan
    4) Canada
    5) United Kingdom

    Thank you.

    Please forward a cashier's check for $125 million dollars so I can get started on building the factory where I will produce this cable.

    Time is of the essence.

    Look for a Cable-TV truck/installer and tell him you want a "jumper". Offer him $5 to make you one to length if he doesn't have one laying around that he's collected. They use better cable than the stuff you can find at the R-shack, W-mart or the big box stores. It's shielded better, cutting out the interference. You want a screw on fitting for best results. The slip-on connectors leak RF and your picture will suffer.

    Having been a cable guy before truck driver (8.5 years) it is RG-6, we used quadshield with Comcast. As the poster up above said look for a cable truck and ask him/her to cut you a jumper. I had no problem doing it for people, some guys wouldn't. BTW screw on connectors suck, talk about leakage and noise in the line! You want the crimp on connectors.

    Sorry, I meant the fittings (F connectors) that are crimped on the RG-6 that can be screwed on the F-81's (barrels). I agree that the fittings you find that twist on the cable suck. I also hooked poles and pulled cable for some time.
     
    Powell-Peralta Thanks this.
